Very happy and relieved to know they are fine.
What an adventure!

And on the other end of the skill level spectrum…(well, it could have been a failure of some sort…)

Well, frankly these wheel modifications are becoming ridiculous. First the spinners, now the extreme camber… what next? Neon lights on the underbelly?

Wow, that Locher Sarentino approach looks nuts! Love the PC-12 and also the PC-6 btw. I’m just wondering if there are any approaches that you actually have to be certified on before you can shoot them solo? That one looks like a good candidate to me. :slight_smile:

Changing the subject to another awesomely nimble aircraft … the Extra 300 … good ol’ coordinated, straight and level flyer steveo1kinevo does an EXTREME FLIGHT VLOG with Sean D. Tucker! …
